Regional Organic Value Chains in Brandenburg - Production Systems and Social Cohesion in Change - Freie Universität Berlin (REGBIO2B)
Project
Project code: 2822OE215
Contract period: 01.09.2023
- 31.08.2026
Budget: 168,703 Euro
Purpose of research: Applied research
Keywords: regional value addition, consumer behaviour, value chains, organic farming
REGBIO2B investigates regional organic value chain networks, their situation, social context and potentials in the state of Brandenburg, where large farm structures, low-yield soils and social challenges in the vicinity of the Berlin metropolitan area meet an important market for organic products, but a lack of processing and marketing enterprises. These conditions make the region particularly suitable for the exemplary investigation of regional organic value chains or networks, the analysis of strengths and weaknesses and the identification of possible solutions. The objectives of REGBIO2B are to investigate, 1. which opportunities arise through regional bio-networks for the establishment of a circular economy, 2. what the conditions are for consolidated and sustainable networks under the particular farm structures, 3. which effects on the social cohesion in Brandenburg result 4. and which factors are conducive or obstructive for the expansion of organic farming in the sense of a network approach. For the first time, the material and the social side of regional organic networks in Brandenburg are investigated together in order to be able to consider their potentials, interactions and regional relations holistically. The capacities and competences of relevant actors will be enhanced through the involvement of practice partners as well as through active knowledge transfer. The findings of the project are of high importance for the transformation of agriculture, among others, which are developed and implemented in different strategies of the states but also on other governance levels.
